The E-Sylum:  Volume 8, Number 41, September 25, 2005, Article 1

WAYNE'S WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are Bill Snyder, Dan Lucas and
Daniel Breen Jr. (No, he's not related to Walter Breen - I asked).
Welcome aboard! We now have 794 subscribers.

Many thanks to Ray Williams for promoting The E-Sylum on the
colonial coins mailing list this week - some of our new subscribers
likely came as a result of that posting. As luck would have it, there
was a news item this week regarding a colonial coin, and for our
featured web site we have a work of fiction which had a role in
promoting an old story relating to colonial coinage.

This issue brings some good news about two minting institutions,
one very old, and one so new it hasn't been built yet - the old
U.S. Mint building in New Orleans, and the new Gallery Mint
Museum in Arkansas. As if that weren't enough, we also have
word of a forthcoming first all-literature auction from dealer
Allan Davisson.

This week's questions: April Kaas won a lawsuit this week against
which U.S. numismatic institution? Who was Lawrence K. Roos,
and what was his role in numismatics? What was author Nathaniel
Hawthorne's connection to numismatics? And what did Daniel
Laidlaw do 90 years ago today to earn the fabled Victoria Cross
medal? Read on to find out...
